Kids Age Groups
Below kids yoga sequences are for students in the age group 7 to 11 and teenagers (high school students).

Kids Age Group - 7 to 11
In teaching yoga to children of age 7-11, the yoga sequence should be practiced in a playful way.
The yoga sequence should be sensitive to the physical and mental development of the kids of this age category.
Yoga poses that are primarily meant for adults should not form part of the practice like arm balances, over stretching
of the hamstrings, over stretching of the hips, or even headstands. Their bones are still soft and tender,
hence care should be taken while creating a yoga sequence for kids (7-11).

Kids Age Group - Teenagers
Yoga is fast catching up in both middle and high schools because of its tremendous benefits to students of all ages.
The understanding of the importance of yoga and its growing awareness in schools is encouraging increasing number of
teachers to train for teaching yoga to kids. Furthermore, teenagers are in need of trained yoga teachers to help them
manage their mood swings, stress levels, anger, bad habits, shyness, poor communication and more so that they can
excel in their academic careers and pave a way to a successful and meaningful life.

For teenagers, scientific research shows that teenagers who practice yoga have a better developed prefrontal cortex.
The prefrontal cortex helps in planning complex cognitive behavior, personality expression, decision making, and
moderating social behaviour (reference: https://www.neuropsychotherapist.com/prefrontal-cortex/).

creativity in them will be displayed as they express themselves.
